Related Archival Materials Note

Along with these copybooks, the donor, Norvin Green, provided N-YHS with other of
Abram Hewitt's copybooks related to his mayoral and congressional years. At some point,
these were cataloged separately, perhaps with other related material:
Diary and letterpress copybooks (1843, 1876, 1887-1888 (bulk 1887-1888)
Call phrase: BV Hewitt, Abram S.

Immediate Source of Acquisition Note

The collection was a gift from the estate of Erskine Hewitt, via Norvin H. Green.
277 of the books were acquired on 22 November 1938 and the remaining fourteen on 29
December 1939.

Processing Information Note

The collection was cataloged with a summary description in 2000. In 2018, volunteer
Alison Barr inventoried all the volumes and archivist Larry Weimer expanded somewhat
on the catalog description to prepare a finding aid to enhance discovery and facilitate
requests from offsite storage. Given the fragility of the volumes, conservator Alan
Balicki shrink wrapped them.
